~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

~4 hours later~

Nina and Fabian left the park tired and worn-out. Nina was driving Fabian and herself home.

"Eddie and Patricia were a surprise" Nina blurted out.

"Yeah that was pretty cool." Fabian replied taking her hand.

Nina looked up at him and bit her lower lip, the edges of her lips creasing into an easing smile. Fabian laughed.

"So, miss birthdays-in-13-days , have any ideas for me?" Fabian asked cheerfully.

Nina merely laughed.

"Miss-huh ?! What is this 1912?" She asked jokingly.

"You can assume that" Fabian replied.

Nina laughed harder.

"Oh Fabian..love, save me from titanic!" She exclaimed dramatically putting the back of her hand on her forehead as if she was hot or beginning to faint.

Fabian smiled and laughed.

"Don't die on me rose I'll save you!"

Nina and Fabian laughed even harder.

Nina sighed happily.

"I'm glad you visited me this summer, this easily wins the best-WHAT?!" Nina exclaimed pulling over beside her house.

There was an ambulance parked on the driveway and the lights were flashing in non-synch and the sirens were wailing at a quieter level.

"What the hell!" Nina exclaimed. She got out of the car and Fabian following.

She ran up to one of the workers there.

"What's happened? Where's my gran?" She asked.

"Oh , she's fallen down the stairs. She's pretty banged up. She has to go to the hospital because we think something happened to cause her to fall" she replied.

"Oh okay" Nina replied saddened.

The ambulance backed out of the drive and sailed down to the hospital.

Fabian held Nina in his arms tightly.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Nina was unresponsive, but she just buried her face in his chest. Fabian kissed her hair and picked her up bride-style. Nina wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes holding back her tears from her stinging eyes. She hated crying especially around Fabian. It showed weakness. Fabian opened the door and Set Nina down on the couch.

"Wait here ill make us some tea" Fabian said.

Nina nodded and wrapped a blanket around her. A few minutes later Fabian came over with two mugs of his best and Nina's favourite tea for both of them. He gave one mug to her and smiled. Nina smiled in return and leaned against him. They sipped it quietly adding to the previously silent room. It was silent for awhile until Nina sat her mug on the coffee table in front of them and dug her face in Fabians chest. Fabian could feel her shaking and crying lightly. He set his mug down also and hugged her.

"Nina, it will be alright. I promise you" Fabian said stroking her hair.

Nina sat up barely and turned her head on his chest. Fabian looked at her sadly and kissed her head.

"Hush Nina. Shh.." He said comforting her. He wiped away the tears in her eyes.

Nina smiled but he didn't see it. Her breathing thinned out and she settled down.

"I'm sorry Fabian" Nina said moving his bangs out of his face.

"You sometimes can't control your emotions. Like I can't control my love around you" he said smiling cheekily.

Nina smiled too and kissed Fabian. It began to get more intense. Nina kissed him harder and more passionate. She ran her fingers through his de-tangled hair. Fabian cupped his hands around her cheeks and kissed her passionately. Nina wrapped her arms around his neck and she leaned back causing Fabian to fall on top of her. Suddenly Nina released from the kiss.

"Fabian?" She asked panting.

He nodded and looked her panting.

"I'm not ready for this" Nina said through her hard pants.

"Me-me either" Fabian replied sitting up.

Nina got up as well and took his hand.

"It's just we're too young and you know." She said.

Fabian smiled a small smile and kiss her cheek.

"I'm sorry" Nina said.

"Don't be, I'm sorry too" Fabian said.

"I still love you" Nina replied.

"Me too" Fabian said.

He gave her a quick peck on the lips before standing up her hand still in his.

"You should get some sleep so you can look well rested for gran tomorrow" Fabian said.

Nina nodded.

"Night" she said.

"Night" Fabian replied releasing her hand.
